I saw your posting regarding your mom.  That is very good news.  Did your mom get 6 rounds of carbo and taxol?   I had a recurrence after 8 months.  Again on carbo and taxol.

Hi

Yes she had surgery then 6 rounds of carboplatin and taxol  then another surgery called 'second look surgery'. They had to reduce the amount of taxol she had though as she got alot of numbness in her feet and hands.

How are you doing now?

We are concerned that her CA125 has gone from 21 to 26 but the Dr said that everything is 'normal' and her next appt is Oct.

Take Care and thanks for the messge

Hi,  Well,  dont know yet, but the ca is down to 3.4 from 220.  But I have alot of pain behind the left breast.  Will be seeing the breast surgeon to see what they say.   Your mothers numbers are still quite good,  The vary could just be in the testing place. Good Luck and thanks.
